The distance between threads of a screw is called the "pitch." Pitch is defined as the axial distance between corresponding points on adjacent threads, essentially measuring how far the screw advances with one complete turn. It is typically expressed in millimeters for metric screws and in threads per inch for imperial screws.
The distance between two threads in a screw is called the pitch. It is the measurement of how far the screw advances with one complete turn.
Screw Pitch is defined as the axial distance between threads. One complete revolution of the screw will move it into an object the distance of the pitch. The smaller the pitch, the greater the mechanical advantage (ability to do work) achieved.

the threads determine the depth the screw should move
The pitch is the axial distance between threads, and the distance the thread moves with a 360 degree revolution. So if the pitch of a screw is 1mm, one revolution will move it 1mm farther down.
It is called simply "threads per length" . In US it is threads per inch. It is the reciprocal of the pitch. For example a screw with 32 threads per inch has a pitch of 1/32 inch. The pitch is distance between threads
The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
The pitch distance of a screw, which is the distance between adjacent threads, directly affects how many turns are required to drive the screw into a material like wood. A screw with a finer pitch (smaller distance between threads) will require more turns to achieve the same depth compared to a coarser pitch screw. Additionally, finer pitch screws often require more effort to turn, as the threads grip the material more tightly, making it harder to drive the screw in. Conversely, coarser pitch screws allow for quicker insertion with less effort per turn.
Coarse pitch refers to a larger distance between threads on a screw. It allows for faster movement of the nut along the screw shaft but may not provide as much precision as a finer pitch due to larger gaps between the threads.
screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
